When you paste text into an AI tool, it is sent to the provider’s servers. Depending on the settings and subscription, that information may be stored or used to train the model further.
Free versions often use your conversations for training unless you turn this off. Business versions (such as ChatGPT Team or Enterprise, Claude for Work) usually promise that your data will not be used for training.
Always ask yourself:
Am I using a tool that my company has approved?
Is training on my data turned off?
Would I mind if this text became public?
Not sure?
Check with your manager or the person responsible for IT.
